Article Synopsis
- Fungal food products, particularly from the strain Rhizomucor pusillus CBS 143028, are seen as sustainable and nutritious options for consumers, with the potential to enhance food supply sustainability.
- The fermentation of R. pusillus CBS 143028 produces a mycelium biomass rich in proteins, micronutrients, and cell wall components, but it is classified as a novel food which necessitates a safety assessment.
- A 90-day toxicity study on Wistar rats showed no biologically relevant adverse effects from high doses of R. pusillus mycelium, leading to a no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) established at 300,000 ppm.
